So we're up and running!

Hi everyone from the bridge

We are up and running and I am delighted to say we have a considerable number of registrants and quite a few Microsoft MVPs. Whatever your status, welcome along and join in!

We have had two new forums added (with a couple of sub forums) for Excel Add-Ins and Excel Services. The former has had XL-Dennis volunteer to moderate and hang around so hopefully we can get some threads going there.

We have had kind permission from Dick Kusleika (often seen here as *** as the profanity filter gets him) to mirror Daily Dose of Excel here, so thanks Dick.

At the moment we allow anonymous posting, but over time, that may change as we can then open up some more features to the community. If we do this, you will be able to post anonymously, even if you are registered, only I'm not sure why you'd want to.

We are searching for a code editor that will nicely format code. I tried to load one last night but it didn't seem to work well and I wouldn't give you second rate would I?

We still welcome ideas on forums, although I don't think we want too much of a scattergun approach.

I have been playing around for a while and still find new stuff so keep looking around and hopefully the interface will become familiar quickly.

If you would like to blog about Excel, I can facilitate a blog for you, or give you access to some of the general blogs, although these will be moderated by admin until we can ascertain tone and writing style of each. It doesn't matter what level you post to... I stress this as there are always people who can learn from your experiences from all around the World and this 'community' will not be 'community' without you!

It's been a great couple of days

Thank You
